Detroit homicide investigators are looking for a tall, thin, black man who may be involved in the fatal shooting early Wednesday morning of 25-year-old Daniel Joseph Thompson of Troy as he and two female companions allegedly waited for a train to pass across Seven Mile Road just west of Connor Road.
